A tub of goodies will come to your classroom in the morning. This will have your icing, lollies and biscuits ready to go. There will be balloons and equipment for Sock Hockey and Crab Soccer. There will be some stickers and tattoos to hand out. There is some orange crepe paper that you make wish to create some streamers.

Classes will be invited up to purchase their goodies before the eating time bell (jelly cups and cakes). Please listen out as come runners will come to get you. It would be a good idea if you bring lunches out with you at this time as you won’t have to back track with cake and jelly through the buildings.
